45th Infantry, Korean Vets

Comments: Both my Father, Aloysius Haverkamp and Uncle, Norbert Haverkamp served together in 180th, C company. Both are living in Northeastern Kansas. I Remember being visited each summer by Chaplin Father Curtis who served with them in Korea and just died a couple years ago at a rest home in Ohio. My Father has hundreds of photos taken while in training and in Korea, many taken in front of their foxholes on Pork Chop Hill, Heartbreak Ridge, Mortar Hill, ect...

My Fathers nickname was "One shot"

At a family reunion receintly, some of the photos were identified. One of the photos with a friend, who was from Chicago. I was told about how he was always showing photo's of his infant son and wife and talking about them. He was killed on the night of their first engagement in Korea.

My father has his company basic training graduation photo on display at the VFW in Seneca, KS

Willis J. Wines (Combat Engineers)

Comments: Seeking any info on my Dad.Who passed away in 1995 of cancer. Dad never talked about Korea unless it was something funny or interesting. Two months before he passed away i learned that he had been awarded the "Bronze Star". I have a photo of him and what appears to be a "unit" picture.That I would be willing to share with someone.Dad spoke of A scar he had on his chin that he got during a battle where he said his unit got "overran" and that he was one of 10, Left alive out of 60 men. Words can not expess how much i loved my father or how proud i am of him and his service to this GREAT NATION. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him or my Mom.
